__Copyright__
__What is Copyright?__ Copyright is a protective right given to an author or a creator of a piece of work. It protects the the expression of the idea, not the idea themselves. The types if works that are protected under this right include: - poetry - novels - movies - songs - computer software -architecture These are often reffered to as interlectual property. Copyright lasts as long as the creator's lifespan plus fifty years. But if the work was published by an anonymous person or a person using a psuedonym, the protection lasts 75 years from the year it was published. Once the 50 years or 75 years are over, the work gets placed on the public domain, then everyone and anyone can use it. media type="custom" key="5732131"
